You Know You’re Trying to Get Pregnant When…

Unless you’re one of the lucky ones who get knocked up just thinking about ovulating (and I’m not bitter, promise…hehe), it probably took you a few months of “practice” to get the deed done. So for those who are in the baby-making process—especially if that progress is taking months or years, we thought it would be fun to do a little fill-in-the-blank action…

You Know You’re Trying to Get Pregnant When…

2. You can say “cervical mucus” in public without a second thought. Not even your partner flinches!

3. You can say “egg white” and not be talking about an omelet. Occasionally, this creates a great bit of confusion at breakfast.

4. You see pregnant women and have one of two thoughts. First thought? “Awww, that’ll be me soon!” Second thought? “Lucky bitch.” Mood and time of your cycle is clearly linked to which response you have.

5. You can pee in a cup on command—and with precision. If only there were peeing-in-small-cup competitions…

7. You have a personal stop-obsessing mantra you use regularly. There are a lot of them out there, but I personally go between praying for the greatest good and focusing on everything I’m grateful for right now. “Stop the insanity!” can work, too, though on less hippity-dippity days.

8. You buy OPK strips and pregnancies tests in bulk. You buy even more when they’re on sale. (And, dude, we’ve found them the cheapest on Amazon!)

14. You feel “cautiously hopeful” a lot. Excited yet guarded, you spend lots of time hoping, wishing and praying.

15. You’re absolutely amazed at the miracle of life. Truly the miracle of all miracles!

For those of you who are trying to get pregnant, what would you add to this list? Funny, snarky, silly, serious—we wanna hear ’em! And I’m sprinkling copious amounts of extra sparkly baby dust on all of you future mamas-to-be! —Jenn

I would add that you have a lot of people that you don’t know with their FX’d (or fingers crossed) for you as well as sending positive vibes. Probably some out there doing a ring shout and dance trying to get your pregnant.
Also, is it just me or do you randomly find yourself going to the baby section in Target falling into la-la land and have to snap yourself out of it.
